Apostlenes gjerninger 21,37

Paul

35 Da Paulus nådde trappene, var volden fra mobben så stor at han måtte bæres av soldatene.

36 Folkemengden fulgte etter, ropende: "Bort med ham!"

Da Paulus skulle føres inn i brakken, spurte han kommandanten: "Kan jeg si noe til deg?" Han svarte: "Snakker du gresk?

38 Da er du ikke egypteren som for en tid siden hisset opp et opprør og ledet fire tusen menn av Sikariene ut i ørkenen?"

39 Paulus sa: "Jeg er en jøde fra Tarsus i Kilikia, en borger av ingen ubetydelig by. Jeg ber deg, la meg tale til folket."
